Now Congress can't stop it and it appears Obama admin didn't even give them 30 days notice as they were supposed to.



That part wasn't the point of my post. It was that the Administration has been "shopping" the release of these 5 terrorists for at least two and a half years. It appears they traded the 2011 demand that the Taliban renounce international terrorism for the release of Bergdahl. Those five were going to be released one way or another.

And anyone (not talking about you) who thinks that a country like Qatar will reign these guys in has not been reading international news reports the past several years. Qatar dropped out of the anti-terrorism game after a car bombing in Doha in 2005, in exchange for not being further targeted.

Qatar is no worse than our best Sunni allies in the region--save Jordan. Saudis are the worst. And we sell out to them more than anyone else.
